Revelation is not a parable. It is the only book in the bible that puts events into chronological order. This is the information that God told Daniel to "seal up" until the end time. He did not seal it up until the time of the end and then let you try to figure it out as a parable. He sealed it up until the end times because he knew that people living in those times would be able to read it LITERALLY and see the truth of it. It also tells believers where to go and how to escape the destruction that is coming. Have you found THAT part yet?

Okay guys-- Lets not argue here. That is what Satan wants us to do.

We all have our own views, but lets try and focus on what unites us, and not on what divides us.

Jesus IS Lord! And He is coming soon. Lets focus on Him and the events that are coming.

OR WAY OF ESCAPING THE COMING DESTRUCTION IS JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD. If you can read a parable literally you are a SON of GOD and FILLED with the Spirit .

Believing and following Jesus saves your soul....but it won't save you from the destruction that is coming. BUT....Jesus didn't want his faithful to endure this nightmare so he also gave instructions in Revelation to escape this. Revelation is more than just prophecy. It is a chronological sequence of events to come and also a guide as to what YOU need to do to survive them.
